  1. Update I can get a hold of the chip through a broken 2 GS at my friends teaching job.  They had a 2 GS for some reason.  Also this is going to be a long while.  Don't expect this to go fast at all because right now I'm working on Midiboxes, SID, FM, 64, NES, SNES-APU, and this one.  So be patient.

    O yeah I can't forget Midibox POKEY!

  3. I would just like to notify everyone that I am starting the creation of The Midibox SONIQ or Midibox DOC. ;D  It is a synth that utilizes the Apple 2 GS's soundchip the Ensoniq ES5503 DOC.  This is notable as the first sound chip in a computer that uses wavetables.  It was also used in 2 Ensoniq synthesizers.  I'm gonna need some help with programming because I'm pretty clueless there but I am starting to work on the hardware! ::)  This is going to be one cool synth when it is done!  Thanks for everything! :D

  4. Sorry for bump but this would be incredible if someone did it.  You have no idea what this would do for the chiptune scene.  It would be bigger than the Midibox Sid even.  Let me know if I can help in any way.  It would be so cool to have NES and SNES synths!  THIS IS AWESOME!

  5. Okay I need to pick to build a Midibox Sid or a Midibox FM.  I am pretty young and so I want to start with an easier one and I think the FM is a bit easier/simpler but the Sid I was going to make was a C step with 1 sid.  But I think I might like the sid sound a bit more but I've been getting more and more interested in the FM sound after hearing NILS rendition of Grabbag.  So which should be my project over the summer? ::)

  6. Hey I'm right there with you.  I happen to have OCD.  Its a real pain but it doesn't affect my social abilities just ticks me off to no end.  So don't apologize.  We will help you all we can.  Also for people who don't know Asperger's Syndrome = Autism, correct?

  7. Where can you find a list for all the parts that go on the OPL3 module, because I noticed smash doesn't sell them in kits.  Also as I am starting to build my Midibox SID and FM I will try to make a walkthrough and detail how i did.  Thanks and you guys rock.

  8. I have some quick questions. :P  First is I read the wiki but I still don't understand AOUT DOUT AIN DIN what is there function?

    Also what would I need for a complete control surface with only one sid.  From what I know its a core module, a sid module, and then what?  Basically I want a full fledged Midibox Sid with only one sid.  Thanks for the help, You guys are the best!

  9. Wow, thanks!  I have read a lot of the links that were showed to me, but a lot of it doesn't make sense to me, because I haven't learned any of it in school.  Learned it all through the internet and I'm pretty young so yeah but thanks I'll have a thread detailing my creation of the sid!

  10. Well, hello!  I am thinking about trying to make a midibox sid as a summer project and I of course have some questions! :P

    So first of, how do you program PICS?  Second when using a 2 x 40 LCD do you have to do anything different from a 2 x 20 LCD?

    Also what do you house the midibox in?  How do you set up more sids after the first one?  And where do you connect the knobs and stuff on the front panel?  Is there also like a video guide or a solid straightforward easy to read guide?  I'll think of more later and update this but any help would be appreciated!  I'm a bit of a noob and I'm working on circuitry!  So thanks! :D
